Cornhuskering it just doesn’t have the same feel as couging it, which they did once again

Watching Kansas Illinois and it looks like a fun place to play(in September LOL). Kansas certainly has upgraded their offense with Daniels at QB and I wonder if Illinois will be able to keep.

Next year the Big 12 will be quite a winnable conference (Utah should be very happy) and it appears defense is not a priority on the plains

Reminds me of Friday night high school games in the Midwest; weather looks a gloriously breezy 75 and cooling. The student section in t-shirts.

But then you have coach Bielema over on the Illinois sideline all bundled up in a parka zipped up all the way up, containing his flubby neck. Weighing almost 300 lbs, keeping comfortable seems out of place on a fine night on the plains. Weird guy.

Just not a fan of Baylor’s color scheme. Going to be interesting to see some of the small college towns. Never been to Waco (why would I) or most of the big 12

I have an ultrawide monitor so can watch multiple games at one time. Colorado vs Nebraska on the 4k TV. But have 3 football games and Ukraine vs England Euro qualifying on the PC monitor. Best time of the year for sports. I will put the Cubs on when they start playing.

Really have to be impressed with Nebraska’s defense so far this year. Ruhle has brought defense back for the huskers in a short period of time

Definitely can see that TCU had no defense at all. CU is really struggling with the LOS on offense. If Nebraska had any kind of offense they would be up 14-0. Crazy to think their QB has turned it over 35 times in his career and they still give him snaps

Tulane looking very good Vs Ole Miss, leading 17-7 in the second( thinking there is not much difference between OM and Miss St). Of course they beat USC last year but hopefully our guys are confident we can move the ball and get stops on defense tonight

Kansas State goes down on a 61 yard FG by Missouri. Fans rush the field. I don't believe this is a field rushing type game. Although maybe for Missouri since they are going to get crushed in conference play.

I do agree about rivalries. Yet, if a rivalry is big enough it will continue. BYU and Utah kept playing, even though they were in different conferences. It appears UA/UCLA will keep playing in basketball, even though we will be in different conferences. Nick Cronin wants the rivalry to continue.

As far as realignment, that is life. It is happening so let it go. Maybe new rivalries will arise. Personally, I am looking forward to a Kansas/UA rivalry in basketball.

Although I’m now a big Michigan fan because of my daughter I still have to call BS on the NCAA.

So Michigan sent scouts to upcoming games and they were able to decipher play signs? Isn’t that part of scouting? Maybe the opponents need to come up with better play sign signals.

Judging by the MSU crowd reaction to the question I think Deodorant.com might be the only platform who elevated Hitler here.

I would describe that call as horrible…just like both offenses yesterday.

The O/U was something like 30 and they didn’t even come close to that.
